brenodt/.dotfiles

My personal environment setup

dotfiles - getting started

git clone https://github.com/brenodt/dotfiles.git
cd .dotfiles

# To see changes before they're made
stow --simulate .

# To create symlinks on parent directory
stow .

# To delete
stow --delete .

Local ZSH Config

If there's customization you want ZSH to load on startup that is specific to this machine (stuff you don't want to commit into the repo), create ~/.env.sh and put it in there. It will be loaded near the top of .zshrc.

How this works

The configuration files are managed via stow.

The main addition is the system to auto-install dependencies on a fresh system, which uses Ansible.

The structure is:

• Anything that needs to be ignored from symlinking gets added to the .stow-local-config file (keep in mind the proper rules for it: link)
• stow symlinks to the target directory (default is the parent) by keeping the same structure found in the root. This means the fs should mimic that of the $HOME

Once configuration is done, just run stow .

How updating the homebrew dependencies works

There is a function called brewrapper in zsh/aliases.zsh which is used as an alias for brew. Whenever you interface with brew - install, remove, update, tap, utap, and so on - you are aliased to this function, that does:

1. execute your brew command
2. regenerates the Brewfile (see brew bundle)
3. uses the Brewfile to set the dependencies for Ansible (via the install/brewdeps script)

This means that maintaining the new dependencies you add/remove from brew is seamless.

Just remember to push the local changes to remote!
